Yes, on vop_write(). See my posting to current@

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=895498+0+archive/2004/ 
freebsd-current/20041205.freebsd-current

You need:
rpcbind_enable=YES
rpc_lockd_enable=YES
rpc_statd_enable=YES

if you want to trigger the bug. The null-pointer dereference happens
on all platforms.
